The Perfect Getaway

My boyfriend and I stayed in this beautiful lakefront space for 4 nights and we wished we could have stayed longer. Beautifully crafted to give it a true cabin feel with western facing windows that give way to the most spectacular sunset views over the lake, this place made us rethink our life goals. (Yes, it's that beautiful!) Ten minutes to Filmore Glen where exists some of the prettiest waterfall-dotted hiking trails, 35 minutes to Ithaca where there are tons of fun things to do and more outdoor beauty (Treman State Park and Taughannock Falls), along with kayaks right at your front door make this place the perfect getaway for nature lovers. Oh, and we also made s'mores by the fire pit, which Rodney was kind enough to set up for us. Rodney and Carmela were super laid-back, warm, and helpful and their two dogs, Max and Sox, were also quite the charmers. Rodney and Carmela live in the house below, but were always super respectful of our space. We rarely saw them, but when we did, it was always pleasant. It's a clean, quiet, peaceful space and, simply put, the perfect getaway, especially for us city folk. Can't wait to return!

The Sound of Silence....Beautiful and Peaceful

I arrived with my fiance' for the days leading up to our wedding....the peacefulness and beauty of our stay overlooking the lake was the very best way to begin Our Married Life Together....all stress leaves your world as you watch the sunset over the lake, or fall asleep looking up thru the window above your head watching the stars twinkle or simply listening to the gentle sound of the waves of the lake water. We loved having the kayaks available for touring the lake and fishing, a short ride away we hiked Filmore State Park trails, stopped in town for a slice of pizza, mailed our marriage license at the local post office and picked up food supplies at the local little market. Morning coffee was on the deck overlooking the lake, watching the fish jump and birds visit the hanging birdhouses. All comforts of home are there for you, stocked kitchen, comfy bed, Amazing View, awesome hot water pressure for a relaxing shower that simply makes you not want to leave.

Just What We Needed

This place was perfect! We just needed a one night stay and were happy we were able to book this apartment. Rod and Carmela were great hosts! The place was very clean and looked just like the pictures. The windows were also open which was nice to feel the breeze. The views of the lake are also amazing. We were able to go to Ithaca the first night which was about a 40 min drive. The next day we went to Fillmore Glen, it was close by and it was a nice hike. We were very happy we made the trip. It did rain while we were there but it was nice to fall asleep to the sound of the rain. They were also nice enough to offer us a late check out since no one was staying the next night. We hope to come back for another stay!

Beautiful atmosphere

What a beautiful place to get away! My friend and I enjoyed our stay here, it rained all morning one day, but we were able to stay inside, drink coffee, watch a movie, and enjoy the sound of the rain falling outside. Luckily it cleared out by the afternoon and we were able to use the Kayaks- so much fun! Rod and Carm take great care of their place! We had a great chat with Carm she is a sweet heart! Thanks for having us, hope to be back again in the near future!

Nice apartment and location

The apartment was perfect for two people. For us, the location was also perfect--we were able to spend the day on the lake and close enough to spend the evening in Skaneateles. The houses here are very close together but it still felt private and was quiet.
